Korowai tribe with the population of 3,000 people live in the easternmost part of the province of Papua. Until 1970, they were unaware of the existence of any people besides themselves. According to Suntono, the head of the regional statistical office in Papua, Korowai tribe has their own language including unique shouts, howls, smoke signals, trail markings and the ability to read footprints. The majority of the Korowai clans live in tree houses on their isolated territory. Huts built on tree tops vary in height depending on the kind of relationship they have with their fellow Korowai members. Like prehistoric people, Korowaian wear nothing except leaves. Their main foods consist of wild boar, deer, sago flour, bananas, beetle grubs and big lizards. Let’s glimpse at interesting facts about Korowai tribe in Indonesia through following images.

Dave

Dave is in the boondocks waiting, wondering what could have happened if he did not wait for life to pass.

Camping in the boondocks overseeing landscapes of clouds and tree tops he hope to be able to move on from his hill and discover other hills around and maybe someday travel to see the beach.

He went to the boondocks searching for something, something that will make his life better. A dream that will make him a recognized achiever in their little village. Though he sees it from afar, he have no intention of resolving it. He likes his hut and hill and what may the nature fulfill upon him he will accept.

But in the meantime he would like to share stories, pictures, and videos that affected him, and life in general.
